Target Application Settings

Server / Web Applications

Server applications are typically applications that are deployed in a J2ee
application server such as WebLogic / WebSphere etc. AppPerfect supports
communication with server application via HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Following
values need to be specified to completely define a server application.

URL Settings

Starting URL : The first page from where you
want to start interacting with your server application. This can be either an
HTTP or HTTPS URL. You can provide the URL from where you want to actually
test your project instead of providing the first page of your web
application.

Authentication Basic/Digest/NTLM): For applications that need to be
authenticated, please select the appropriate Authentication mechanism and then provide values for
Username, Password and Domain name as per the authentication setting selected. Basic/Digest/NTLM authentication is
implemented in the Web browser itself. If you are using this kind of security
mechanism, username and password need to be specified here so that AppPerfect
can connect for the first time and record the page.

Two way SSL Authentication : For applications using two way authentication,
please select this checkbox and then provide values for password and client certificate file.

Configure Proxy Settings: If your application
requires a proxy server, then you need to provide those instructions here.

AppServer Settings

AppServer : Select the Application / Web Server from dropdown provided here. (BEA WebLogic 8.1; IBM
WebSphere 5.1; Tomcat 5.5; etc.) In case you find that your application server is not present in the list then select the "Other" option from the list.

Server Home: Folder location where app server is installed.

Startup file: All app servers use some kind of startup batch
file. Refer to your app server documentation for name and location of
your startup file.

Config file: Most app servers require a system configuration
file (often called config.xml). Provide the path for same here

Instance Name: Often app servers support multiple instances of
the app server running on the same machine. If your app server supports
this kind of configuration, specify the instance name where your
application is deployed. Refer to your app server's documentation for
more details.

Debug port: Debug port is used by AppPerfect Java Unit Test to generate functional test cases. You need not change it unless the default port 8680 used is being already used by some other application. If you need to generate Function Test Cases, the server should be started passing command line arguments - -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8680

Local / Desktop Applications

Local/desktop applications typically run on your local machine as a single
user system. Following values need to be specified to define a local/desktop
application. AppPerfect will construct the necessary command and invoke your
application.

Work folder: This is the folder location from where your
application will be launched. Most desktop applications assume some default
startup directory to locate resources.

JVM Arguments: Arguments you wish to pass to the JVM (such as -MX,
etc.)

Launch Target application automatically: This option is disabled by default and is enabled only if you provide the Main class for your application or HTML file in case of Applet. If selected appperfect launches the target application on its own. In case this option is deselected then you will need to manually launch the target application.

Desktop Applications

Main class/Executable jar: Class file name that launches your
application. Class that contains the main() method. You can also specify a
jar file and the JVM will automatically extract the main class file name.

Main class arguments: Arguments you wish to pass to your
application at startup. Note that on the Mac OS X, you will need to specify
startup arguments with commas.
